TBB TP-16

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

• All season traction
• Enhanced controllability
• Longer lasting tread life
• High driving comfort levels

OVERVIEW

The TBB TP-16 is a performance and high performance, all season tire manufactured for passenger vehicles and SUVs. This model also has touring sizes available.

The tire helps to improve the all season traction. The durable compound and the symmetric tread design with the sipe and groove pattern enhance the dry, wet, and winter weather grip. This combination allows the tire to significantly increase the number of biting edges, optimizing the surface traction. Stronger compound elements optimize the rubber flexibility throughout the performance, upgrading the summer and winter traction. Circumferential grooves channel water and slush from the footprint, avoiding hydroplaning in wet conditions.

The center ribs and shoulder blocks enhance the controllability. They maintain the surface contact at all times, which increases the steering responsiveness and driving stability. As a result, the tire helps to improve the steering response time and accuracy as well. The structure is secured against the driving pressure, optimizing the performing power. The shoulder blocks provide the needed grip on the road surface, with the use of extra biting edges. This upgrades the cornering and maneuvering capability, boosting the all weather performing safety.

A longer lasting usability is promoted as well. The stabilized tread elements allow the tire to evenly distribute the driving pressure across the tread area. In this manner, the tire ensures even pressure circulation along the footprint, avoiding irregular wear formations. Stronger compound elements also allow the tire to greatly decrease the treadwear rate as well. The slow and even wear enhances the tire's overall service and tread life.

The TBB TP-16 boosts the driving comfort levels as well. The close road contact and the detailed tread elements allow the tire to minimize the road vibration and noise generated during the drive. This footprint allows the tire to absorb the shock of driving, minimizing the road vibrations felt by the passengers. The tread negates the sound waves with the continuous streamlined transverse grooves decreasing the road noise generated during the drive. This combination offers a safer driving experience.

This specific tire is from 2022. DOT 2022.

Manufacturers recommend changing tires every 10 years. As long as tires are properly stored before they are sold, the year of their manufacture will not shorten their service life.
